Tell him to take it to UPS in a box,pay,stamped,shipped!I get parts weekly from the states and sent with no issues at all.It,s a gift $20,it,s that easy.
LOL, yup, you can do it that way too. I really don't understand the sellers take on this, What's he all so worried about?
If any extra costs are incurred, the receiver will have to pay for it, IE, brokerage fees and duty.
